iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

Contrary to other robot vacuums, this one isn't afraid of taking on the stairs. Like all mops and vacuums it is susceptible to clogging by objects like tennis shoes, play thread, jewelry or other loose objects.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms and even create zones that are not allowed to enter. It also lets you keep track of your mops's progress and the status of its battery.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a part of the iRobot robot vacuum and mop lineup that combines the robot cleaner's smart mapping capabilities along with its ability to tackle spills. It is equipped with the same acoustic sensor that is onboard and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as other Roomba models and maps your home seven times more quickly than previous versions. It also allows you to create Keep out Zones (for rooms that the robot is not allowed to enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms it is required to clean).

The robotic arm is the most significant feature of the j7. It keeps the mop pad hidden when not in use and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. In my testing it, the Combo J7+ was successful in avoiding spraying water on the rug. The robot did not try to pass over the rug, even though I moved it around many times.

The arm has an 240mL tank that can be easily popped out and filled, making it more manageable than the mop pads of many other 2-in-1 robots. It utilizes iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology that is more advanced than other systems similar to it.

iRobot Combo i5

This multitasker is designed to vacuum and mop with one machine. Its vacuuming is accomplished by a special bin that holds up to 60 days' worth of debris and iRobot claims will reduce the amount of dust re-released into the air during the process. The i5+ comes with a dual multi-surface rubber brush and Power-Lifting suction that can tackle dust and iRobot Vacuum and Mop dirt as well as pet hair and staining. When you're ready to mop, simply switch in the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

The i5+ uses iRobot OS, which means it gets smarter as you use it. It creates a Smart Map, which remembers the names of rooms as well as your cleaning preferences. The iRobot App lets you create a schedule, or tell the robot to clean a particular room.

iRobot can recognize household clutter like shoes, bags cords, toys and other items. It will then stop and return to the docking station, giving it to recharge and finish the cleaning task later. It is also voice-compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands - far more than any competing 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

This robotic vacuum and mop from iRobot is a good choice for homes with both carpets and hard floors. It makes use of intelligent mapping to avoid obstacles and clean efficiently. It also comes with different mopping options and a powerful SmartScrub system that helps clean tough staining. It can also set No Mop Zones so carpets don't get swept up. The dock refills the mopping fluid on a regular basis. This model is more expensive than the earlier Roomba Combo j7+, however it has more features.

Its patent-pending Mopping Drive System applies pressure to the floor to provide a deeper clean and removes tough stains. It can also reach under furniture and in tight spaces to give an effective clean. The Combo j5+ is also compatible with the iRobot Clean Base for automatic dirt disposal.

It will also avoid shoes, socks, and litter boxes. With the iRobot app you can plan your house's cleaning and control your robot from any location.

iRobot Combo i3

The iRobot Combo i3 has been updated from the original Roomba i3. It has the same fantastic dirt compartment on the outside and an HEPA filter to trap allergens However, it now supports smart mapping. This means you can set up zones that are not allowed to be used to stop it from vacuuming those areas again. The i3 Plus still has a variety of other fantastic features, including its advanced cleaning system that has a 10x power-lifting suction and a three-stage process for cleaning. It comes with a textured surface to keep dust, pet hair and fingerprints off.

It cleans most debris and is great on unfinished flooring, but did experience trouble with pet hair when used on low-pile carpets. It is quieter and does a great job on carpets with a high pile. The i3 is a bit more expensive than the roborock robot vacuum S4 Max but it comes with a self-emptying station that empties the dirtbag, replenishes its water reservoir, and cleans its mop pads.

With the i3 app, you can create schedules for cleaning at a time that suits your needs. You can also control your robot using your voice assistant to begin or stop cleaning. It can also track the unique layout of your home to provide personalized cleaning habits and schedule. It utilizes advanced mapping sensors to help you navigate hardwood and carpet flooring, and also learns how to clean your home to maximize performance.

iRobot Combo i2

The Combo i2 robot vacuum and mop is the most recent product from iRobot. It is a combination of iRobot's intelligent floor cleaning technologies to make it an excellent choice for homes with hard floors and a few rugs or carpets. The Combo i2 uses a combo system that allows you to switch between vacuuming and mopping with the click of a button. It also comes with iRobot's latest navigation technology. Its PrevisionVision system is superior to the average and will avoid obstacles such as power cables and steps.

Its Smart Map remembers the rooms you clean and the ones you prefer. It can even detect the room that requires extra attention, like the kitchen or living room. It also has the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal System that eliminates dust automatically for up to 60 days.

The dual multi-surface brush is another amazing feature of the Combo i2. They are more effective than standard mops, removing dirt from corners and edges. The acoustic sensor of the robot vacuum for pets allows this. The Combo i2 is also equipped with powerful suction and an intelligent design. It is controlled by the iRobot app with voice assistants, as well as an programmable schedule.

iRobot Combo i1

The Combo i1 robot vacuum can also mop. When the unit is aware that a surface needs to be cleaned, it lifts and swivels underneath it using a robotic arm equipped with a cleaning pad. The back is equipped with a dustbin and water tank that can be removed to supply cleaning solution. The robot utilizes a specific Bona cleaning solution but can be utilized with other brands.

In contrast to most robot vacuums the Combo i1 can retract its mophead completely to the top of the robot when it detects carpet. This allows it to vacuum and then wipe the carpet clean with its microfiber cleaning cloths and ensure that the surfaces are spotless. It has a complete set of sensors and navigation abilities which help it stay clear of obstacles such as cords and furniture.

It also has an upgraded battery that will last longer, and an auto-emptying mode that cuts down on the frequency of emptying the dustbin. It's an excellent choice for families who need the convenience of a single robot with the versatility provided by the different cleaning modes. It can be controlled with the voice of Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant-enabled devices. It can be programmed to begin and stop at specific times.

iRobot Combo i4

This iRobot robot vacuum and mop is perfect for anyone who wants a clean and tidy home without having to lift a finger. It is compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can use voice commands to control it. Additionally, it comes with smart mapping technology so you can set a schedule and the robot will take care of the task for you.

It comes with a slim docking station that doesn't take up the space. It also has a dirt compartment that can be emptied at the touch of a button. However you won't be able to look inside the compartment as it's constructed of transparent plastic. The i4 is also missing some features, such as zones to keep out and AI-powered obstacle avoidance on the j7 and j7+ models.

However, it does have an effective cleaning system and a set of rubber brushes that aren't caught in pet hair. It's also a good option for homes with carpets that are high-pile because it can handle the more dirt and debris better than weaker vacuums. The i4 is also less invasive in terms of maintenance requirements, has lower costs for recurring maintenance and runs longer in its most powerful suction mode than the i7.
